This is my son's boat on the weed choked St Johns River (at Blue
Springs) in Central Florida. Actually, the weeds aren't that bad this
year, but there is a lot of idle/no wake zones because of the manatees.
I guess that's OK though because all the alligators & manatees make for
a bumpy ride if you get going very fast.

Is that the Silver River near Silver Springs, Florida?

Almost. The Silver Springs Run is a tributary of the St Johns. Upstream a
bit from Blue Springs.

Well, I guess both places look alike. I used to take the northern living
grandkids to Blue Springs when they visited in the winter to see the
manatees that congregate there for the 70* water.
